Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for romantics and anyone who loves a strong drama. The chemistry carries it.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 24 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in Danish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1962: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
A group of better-off thirty-somethings meet for a weekend in Knud and Beth's home. The host couple is prone to bickering regularly. The married couples (Jan and Ilse, and Kjeld and Tove) that are visiting understand and try to stay out of the way. Bachelor Lars, however, comes into his own and is a constant source of provocative comments.
